Monica to visit Bulgaria next year

According to website Sofia OGGI, Ms. Bellucci might be visiting Bulgaria next year in order to attend the Karin Models contest in Varna, during the month of August. This is just a rumour, so nothing’s certain yet.

Also, Monique got invited to join the cast of a new movie (the title is Segno di Dio, based on the novel by Ilia Velchev) that will be shooting in Bulgaria as well.

Here’s a nice (old) video interview Monica did while promoting Shoot ‘Em Up, back in 2007.

‘The Private Lives of Pippa Lee’ opening in US theaters

The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is opening Friday Nov. 27 in US theaters! Even though Ms. Bellucci has a very small role in it, American fans should not miss this. The film and Monique are getting rave reviews:

“Monica Bellucci is magnetic as a bonkers ex”

“In addition to the always wonderful Arkin, plus a hilarious brittle role for Ryder, there are telling cameos from Moore (as a rebellious ‘aunt’), Bellucci (as a sexy ex)”

“There’s also terrific support from a note-perfect supporting cast that includes Arkin (who has chemistry with both Penn and Lively), Reeves, Moore, Bello, a super-sultry Bellucci”

“A strong supporting cast, including stunning Blake Lively as a young Pippa, Julianne Moore, Winona Ryder and Monica Bellucci, do a decent job.”

“It’s a simply wonderful cast. [...] and Monica Bellucci’s glamourous, drama-queen heiress Gigi who has her own ideas about divorce. (The lavish lunch Gigi organises before promising a divorce – involving a pig, a cow and a gun – is unforgettable.)”

“With these two at the film’s centre, and Keanu Reeves, Monica Bellucci, Maria Bello, Julianne Moore and Winona Ryder in supporting roles, there was never going to be much messing about – the ensemble playing is first-class throughout.”

“Buttressed by a formidable cast (including Winona Ryder as Pippa’s neurotic friend and Monica Bellucci as Herb’s first wife)”

“[...] but underpinning it all is the fine cast (there are striking turns, additionally, from Winona Ryder as Pippa’s absent-minded friend and Monica Bellucci as Herb’s first wife)”

“What Miller’s movie does possess in spades is a spry, oddball streak of humour and an assembly line of funky character parts for cool, charisma-packed actresses like Maria Bello, Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore and Monica Bellucci, who keep the blood pumping”

Monique to star in The Whistleblowers?

According to this article, our beautiful and talented Monica will be starring in a new movie project alongside Oscar winner Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener, Constantine), Vanessa Redgrave (Evening, Atonement), David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck, The Bourne Ultimatum) and Serbian actor Sergej Trifunovic.

The title of this new film is The Whistleblowers, which is a slang word for those who cause uproar. It will be directed by Larysa Kondracki, a young director and script writer from Ukraine. It is based on a true story, and follows the life of Kathryn (played by Rachel Weisz), a clerk employed in the UN in Bosnia during the war. She discovers what is happening on the so-called Arizona market, the base of KFOR, on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where bracelets and discs are sold during the day, while at night its main activity consists in human trafficking for the whole region. The UN soldiers earn a significant sum of money for their share in that business. As a reward, Kathryn gets “fired”, and the whole case is hidden from the public eye. Trifunovic plays the role of a Bosnian policeman, the only person willing to help her.

Although at this time we can not confirm the news, it definitely seems like a very interesting project. Plus, the cast is really awsome. It will be nice to see Monica working on screen with A-list stars such as Weisz, Redgrave and Strathairn.

‘The Private Lives of Pippa Lee’ Screen Captures (x134)

And finally, Monica Bellucci in Rebecca Miller’s The Private Lives of Pippa Lee: 134 screencaptures are now in the gallery. As you can see her role is very small. In fact, she has no more than five minutes on screen, but she is absolutely stunning as the rich and sultry Gigi, who losts her husband Herb Lee (Alan Arkin) to the young Pippa (Blake Lively).
